Issue 48:
Description
If the system with Linux operating system is stand alone or connected to a network hub, the
communication to iDRAC through the OS to iDRAC pass-through channel for LOM pass-through mode
does not work in the following scenarios:
1. For systems shipped from factory, initially the iDRAC network is in dedicated mode and the OS to iDRAC
pass-through feature for LOM pass-through mode is disabled. The network cable is installed at LAN1. The
host and the iDRAC IPs are configured for static IP addresses in the same subnet. Switch the iDRAC
network from dedicated to shared mode, enable OS to iDRAC pass-through and set the pass-through
mode to LOM.
2. When LAN1 is connected to a switch:
a.
Both iDRAC and the host IPs are configured for static IP addresses in the same subnet.
b.
Either iDRAC or the host IP is configured for static IP address and the other one
received the IP through DHCP.
c.
iDRAC and host both receive the IP through DHCP.
Resolution
To enable OS to iDRAC pass-through in shared mode:
1. Set the static IP address on the host system using the Network Manger GUI or edit the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file.
2. Set the static IP address for the iDRAC in the same subnet
3. Enable OS to iDRAC pass-through feature. For the steps, see
iDRAC7 User’s Guide
at
www.dell.com/esmmanuals.
4. Reboot the host system.
5. After restarting the host system, connect to the iDRAC using the static iDRAC IP address.
Versions/Systems Affected
All Dell PowerEdge Systems with iDRAC7.
